On Black Friday I ordered a tub of Murphy McNeil Naid soap. It was the old formula, but it was a special black Friday sale and the scent sounded great.
I received it and noticed after it warmed up that there was something wrong with this soap... It had a good amount of liquid on top and little chunks in it.
I reached out to Murphy and McNeil who suggested I stir it and let it sit. I did such and tried to shave with it the next day. It worked pretty well, but there were still bits of hard soap (?). Shortly thereafter I tried again. No matter how much I whipped the lather, I could not break down those little bits.
I reached out to them again, and on Saturday they mailed me a new dish of their new formula of this soap. On top of that, they must have rush delivered it, because it arrived today.
I think I already posted about receiving the original tub of soap, and loving the scent. However, I'd feel remiss if I didn't share how impressed I am with this customer service. It's absolutely amazing. What's even more amazing, is this is so much more commonplace in the shave market than anywhere else I can recall. We really are blessed with so many good vendors, manufacturers, etc. [emoji846]

This is the result of asking a question about one barbershop shaving soap scent (Two Bits) on a YouTube video made by a Cadre member. Thank you @bentheduck for your generosity with the Barbershop scents, I can‘t wait to try all of them out.

Monday must be 
Barbershop scent day. This also came in the mail from Groomatorium. My POBox was jam packed today.

And Monday just keeps getting better. This just showed up tonight from my brother-in-law as payment for helping him out last week.
A little bit of PIF mail call and a few things I stumbled upon at Marshals. I was excited to see the generous package in the mail box after work today from @gvw755. The Kamisori didn’t make it into the picture some how and that it what I am most excited about. 
I couldn’t pass up the Proraso splash for $2 and the R89 was discounted an extra 5 bucks so along they came.

Well I received the Chiseled Face Natural AS and the Blackship Classic soap. The AS has potential. I am looking forward to trying this.
Unfortunately, the Blackship Classic smells like moldy wet cardboard. It's going right into the bin. No wonder it was discounted, lol. Live and learn, I suppose.

I’m a fan of their ‘50’s vibe sci-fi thing!
Me too. Their products are stellar. Well, the ones I’ve tried have been.
Just curious how best to use these small samples? Do you extract it and do a bowl lather? Or stuff it in the brush and do a face lather?
Thanks
